About Bicycles
Bicycles were invented in France in the 1790s. The first bikes were made of wood, had a front wheel that didn’t move from left to right, and didn’t have pedals. In 1817 ‘, a steerable front wheel was developed by Baron Karl von Drais in Germany, and in 1839, the first pedals were introduced by Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a blacksmith from Scotland. The first bikes had large front wheels because it was believed that the bigger the front wheel, the front wheel, the faster the bike.
